One Slow Turtle

It Advanced...just a little farther...farther down the long dirtroad...slow like a dandelion in a windy field,how slow you might ask...slow like the speedy slug on that celebrityshow displaying on public television,faster than the rock being carried by thousands of ants...colony aftercolony making campfires in between turns,Turtle...mighty turtle...can you be defied...hurdling up the road likea fastball after it stopped rolling.

Don't you know the stakes that are at hand...the empires that couldfire away from your madness,your slow pace has the patient becoming impatient with envy at your wise ways,Jumble bug...find your dreaded turtle...show him the rituals that gaveway to civilizations,fallen earth shows rise to your presence...microscopic rock and dirtflinging through the air like rockets.

So you advance...you perceived the truth at every turn andcorner...something looms ahead that you haven't foretold,Let it find you and you will be no more...the rumbles presentingviolent ordeal as you wise turtle debate,Senate deliberations within your own mind...what do theypresent...left turn no right turn...its time to stop no go,Forget it...it's over...your limb was taken by a passing car...youhave fallen into the pit alongside the road...but you wont die...justbecome wiser.
